I want to fit LED's in my rear clip and looking around the Elise/Exige lights fit the bill, I thought it would be a case of going into dealer and ordering but I was presented with quite a few options, in the end decided on;
4 stop and tail lights (full circle) with the outers housing the turn signal and the inners reversing lights.
I don't require the fog lights as I have a rain light housed in the tail of my gearbox.
My question, is there a specific model/year I should be looking at as I notice that some have bulbs and some LEDs, I'm not sure if these are for reversing or indicators?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated and if anyone has part numbers even more so.

Thanks
Graham

The lights changed to LED's late 2006 into 2007 iirc, the LED's are not cheap though. Here is a set for sale on e-bay

Indicator and reverse are normal bulbs only the stop/tail are LED's

Hoep this helps

Half of the outer ring of the inner light (the one with the reversing light in it) is the foglight but it can be wired up so it lights the whole ring as a stop/tail light I beleive, I think that is how it was done in US versions. I have seen it done on UK cars.
